There are a number of trades that are just waiting to be made. Some elite talent will be on the market this summer, and with the addition of the extra wild card this year, there will be a lot more buyers than sellers.

What this means is that players may be slightly more expensive than they would have been in the past. It would still not be surprising if at least one or two former All-Stars were on the move before August.

If Trevor Bauer is able to prove that he is able to pitch at a high level in the major leagues over his next few starts, the Arizona Diamondbacks may have some flexibility in the moves that they can make.

Arizona could choose to trade away Joe Saunders depending on how Bauer looks. The Baltimore Orioles have already shown an interest in Saunders, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Atlanta Braves

Even after signing Ben Sheets, the Atlanta Braves could look for another way to improve their starting rotation. They could look to go after one of the top pitchers on the market.

Julio Teheran has a world of potential, and the Braves may be slightly hesitant to deal him. But if they could acquire Matt Garza, they could part ways with their prospect (h/t Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports).

Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox already dealt one of their biggest trade chips when they sent Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox. Carl Crawford and Jacoby Ellsbury at full health will be the best midseason additions that the Red Sox have this year.

Boston will have a number of outfielders available before the trade deadline, and they will have some difficult decisions to make (h/t Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe). This could result in Cody Ross or Daniel Nava being dealt.

The Cleveland Indians will likely still be within striking range of first place in the AL Central by the time that the MLB trade deadline rolls around, and they could look to make a big move for the second year in a row.

Tony Wolters could be a trade target for any team that the Indians are looking to make a deal with. The young infield prospect is filled with potential.

Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are going to be sellers at this year's trade deadline, and they do have some players that will be untouchable. Carlos Gonzalez is not going anywhere, according to Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd (via Jon Heyman of CBS Sports).

O'Dowd also noted that Dexter Fowler could be traded, but that he would be expensive. The Rockies have a number of outfielders that could replace him, so Fowler may be dealt.

Detroit Tigers

The first half of the season has been a bit of a disappointment for the Detroit Tigers. This may encourage them to make a big move prior to the 2012 MLB trade deadline.

Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports has noted that Milwaukee's Shaun Marcum could be a trade option for the Tigers this year. A prospect like Casey Crosby could be dealt by the Tigers in return for a servicable starter.

Even though the Miami Marlins have not lived up to expectations this year, they will not be sellers come deadline. Owner Jeffrey Loria has said that the team will go out and get a few players (via Peter Gammons of MLB Network).

Depending on the caliber of player that the Marlins go after this summer, they could end up dealing a player with a lot of potential such as Marcell Ozuna.

Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins are one of the few teams that will definitely be sellers this year. After signing Ryan Doumit to an extension, the Twins may be more willing to trade an outfielder (h/t Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com).

This could mean that Denard Span is on the move. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports believes that the Twins may be willing to deal Span this summer.

San Diego Padres

Carlos Quentin has been outstanding since joining the San Diego Padres this year. He has given the Padres reason to try to sign him to a long-term deal.

However, most big-league executives believe that Quentin will be traded away this summer prior to the trade deadline (h/t Buster Olney of ESPN). Currently hitting at over a .300 clip, the outfielder will be one of the best bats on the market.

Tampa Bay Rays

Injuries have taken their toll on the Tampa Bay Rays thus far in 2012, but they still have a chance to make a run at the playoffs. A power bat would be a big help in their endeavors.

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times has written that Alfonso Soriano is a trade option for the Rays. A starting pitcher like Alexander Torres could be dealt by the Rays depending on whom they try to acquire.

Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers have dealt with a number of injuries to their starting rotation, but they have still been able to hold on to their spot at the top of the AL West. They are looking at pitcher Zack Greinke and Cole Hamels to improve their rotation, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.

Texas has one of the top farm systems in baseball, and it has the prospects to go after whatever player they want. Mike Olt will be high up on the list for any team in talks with the Rangers.

Washington Nationals

Davey Johnson's Washington Nationals have looked outstanding this season. They are looking like a playoff team and have the potential to get much better as the season goes on.

Pitching prospect Danny Rosenbaum has made some pretty big strides this year, and the Nationals could be asked to include him in a trade this summer should the Nats decide to become active buyers these coming weeks.
